Thanks all. I brought a small TV with channels scanned in and use signal strength to find the aim direction. I'm able to pickup KAXT with a 15' diy pole. DirectTV unplugged. /cheer.

I'm curious, what's an accurate way/device to locate magnetic north degrees? The compass app on my phone pointing toward strongest signal says ~60deg NE magnetic north, which is way off of the suggested aim direction. I wouldn't have been able locate the aim if it wasn't for the signal strength meter from my scanned in TV. Once installed pointing in the strongest signal direction, my in-law TV scanned and picked up the channels just fine.
